Applications and Benefits of using OOP
Applications of using OOP:
Main application areas of OOP are
Ø User interface design such as windows, menu ,…
Ø Real Time Systems
Ø Simulation and Modeling
Ø Object oriented databases
Ø AI and Expert System
Ø Neural Networks and parallel programming
Ø Decision support and office automation system
etc
Benefits of OOP
The main advantages are
Ø It is easy to model a real system as real objects are represented by programming objects in OOP. The objects are processed by their member data and functions. It is easy to analyze the user requirements.
Ø With the help of inheritance, we can reuse the existing class to derive a new class such that the redundant code is eliminated and the use of existing class is extended. This saves time and cost of program.
Ø In OOP, data can be made private to a class such that only member functions of the class can access the data. This principle of data hiding helps the programmer to build a secure program that can not be invaded by code in other part of the program.
Ø With the help of polymorphism, the same function or same operator can be used for different purposes. This helps to manage software complexity easily.
Ø Large problems can be reduced to smaller and more manageable problems. It is easy to partition the work in a project based on objects.
Ø It is possible to have multiple instances of an object to co-exist without any interference i.e. each object has its own separate member data and function.
